UK - London - Old Bailey person

A lady walks below the imposing walls of the Old Bailey law courts in the financial City of London. The original medieval court was first mentioned in 1585 but the present building dates from 1902, but it was officially opened on 27 February 1907. It was designed by E. W. Mountford and built on the site of the infamous Newgate Prison, which was demolished to allow the court buildings to be constructed. Above the main entrance is inscribed the admonition, "Defend the Children of the Poor & Punish the Wrongdoer".
